Let’s talk about Fendi… I am loving what #Fendi is doing right now! I am seriously having 90’s fabulous flashbacks right now with the #fendibaguette and loving this belt bag for those days when my dress/skirt doesn’t have pockets!

Let’s talk about my current favorite handbag…my Diorama in Grey with light gold hardware. I so love this bag! I really wanted a Chanel Boy, but it was just too bulky, heavy and the chain was too big…. I tried on the Diorama and was instantly in LOVE ❤️😍! It is the perfect size for me with a chain strap that is light and gorgeous.

Let’s talk Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale! Hey, it’s a good way to spend those gift cards you just got! Here are my picks — both designer & other brands! I saw a great mix of items that were 40% off! I have been really into scarves lately and found ones from Valentino, Rag & Bone and Burberry. There are also great choices for sunglasses like Burberry Aviators with Plum lenses! It is also a great opportunity to try your favorites in new colors or stock up on those favorites.

I took this beauty out on the town this week. It was great because I had to travel on the train to my workshop in San Francisco. I also tried my hand at the art of the twilly (LV Stories BB Bandeau in nude) again. So happy that I FINALLY got my hands on this Pochette Metis in monogram. Loving the top handle and the super comfortable crossbody strap. Have a happy week everyone.

Not quite sure why advent calendars with something other than cheap chocolates are so hard to find in the US. I watch my favorite bloggers/vloggers showing the fun beauty calendars with envy. Last year was the 1st time I got my hands on one from L’Occitane and loved it! I also gifted it to some friends/family!

This year I searched hard for one for me and one for my husband. For him, I was able to find a “Ginvent” advent calendar. Of course it is a hit, I mean who doesn’t like adorable bottles of gin?! One hint is that some sites don’t ship to every country, so be sure to search with where you want the calendar to go. I was excited to find one from Molten Brown. My lovely best friend bought it for me! This is perfect for me to try new scents & have special travel sized toiletries! It has shower gels, candles and fragrance! I can’t wait to open all of the boxes! I will post pics as I open it!

A tradition that my husband and I enjoy are getting treats for our stocking. It can be challenging because of the size. We try to get a mix of fun & silly and nice things. There are some great sales out there at Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdales and other great stores and websites out there. Here are some ideas to make digging into the stockings fun for everyone.

Fun Stuff for the Fellas:

Men’s Loewe Calfskin Leather Zip Wallet Men often don’t change wallets in the same way that we do to fit in our purses and because it lives in their pocket, it can show wear. This flat style is wallet is good to wear both in a front or back pocket and the zip comes in handy according to my husband.

Desktop Mug Warmer (Amazon) This is dual purpose gift! It not only is great to keep your coffee warm at your desk. But it can also be used to warm a candle in your office (um, you cannot have open flame at work!). It would be a great combination gift with a Jo Malone Orange Blossom candle!

Let’s talk beauty! It’s the time of the year when you are working on your wish list, buying gifts and having people over. I have been trying and loving some new and some favorites this month. The Sephora VIB sale gave me the opportunity to try some stuff for 20% off! I will follow-up with some gift idea lists soon. Here is what I have got for you!

Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Meltaway Cleansing Balm : Long name-great balm! I have been looking for a make-up removing solution and decided to research and try some balms. I am also always on the lookout for stuff that is good for the planet and my skin – especially on my sensitive face! This has a beautiful green hue with a neutral smell. It comes with a little white spatula for scooping — which is essential to not “contaminate” the entire pot! The texture is smooth and was effective at taking ALL my makeup off! I would definitely recommend this!

La Mer The Lip Balm : I am ALWAYS on the lookout for a lip balm that doesn’t irritate my lips. I have probably tried 10 new ones in the last 6 months! I saw this lippy on several bloggers’/YouTuber’s lists. I will admit the price is just dumb, but I feel like I spend good $$ on my eyes and face so why not my lips as well. I am glad to have the 20% discount! I will definitely buy it again during sale or bonus times. It has a smooth texture and felt good on my lips. Most importantly, I didn’t have a reaction so I will continue with it.

Urban Decay Naked Cherry Palette : I have been loving rosey hues for eyeshadow… so this palette was right up my street! I am loving it so far! The color payoff is great in the matte and shimmer… a step-up from the other Naked palettes (in my opinion).

Jo Malone London Orange Bitters Cologne: OMG I love this scent! Jo Malone does it yet again with this limited edition cologne. I am so glad I got my hands on a bottle of this (and the Candle!) I don’t even know how to describe this scent… it is citrus and fall smells wrapped in one.

Hope this has been helpful. I will be back soon with a gift guide or two!
